DVD just stops in play back

I have burned two projects and they both have the same problem. during the first chapter it just stops and freezes? i can not furgure out what happened please help

Okay, we may have some answers here, but first I really, really need to know the brand of media you are using here.
I have a selection of DVD-RW discs, and one of these has a form of Copy Protection on it that will not allow playable copies to be made from it.
They simply do not work - so this is one possibility.
Another option is bad media.
Suggestions:
1 - Instead of writing to the RW and copying from that to an ordinary WORM disc, try creating an
i image
from Encore, and then write this image to the RW & test.
If all is well, then write a WORM disc from the same image.
It's actually the quickest way to work.
Avoid all brands of media except
A - Taiyo Yuden
B - Verbatim Advanced Metal Azo type.
Burn slowly - no faster than 4x

I am new to magic iDVD. I am using it for my home movies. I have 25 short movies saved to a project and burned. When I put it in the DVD player it makes me select a frame each time. Is there a way to just have them play back to back automatically?

When making a magic iDVD is there a way to get all of the movies that you save to the project to play back to back automatically?

Keys stop when playing back samples EXS24

I like to play back samples I have made on logic's EXS24 sampler live but sometimes they just stop playing?
Is logic suitable for playing samples back live?
Thanks
Ed

Why don't you try this;
Take your original Quick Time movie into Compressor as your input file. Open up Preview; mark in and out points around a short section of your requence that includes the place where it stops playing. Encdoe the file with the appropriate DVD preset.
Bring that m2v file into a new project in DVDSP. See whether it plays in the simulator; if it does, do a build and play the TS folfer in DVD Player. If that plays OK, burn to a physical disk. If that plays, I'd re-do the encode for the entire movie.
HOWEVER, if it plays in DVD Player, but fails when you play the physical disk, I would suspect you either need a new optical drive – OR it needs cleaning (per David McClain's suggestion). Try burning on another computer.

HT1539 Digital copy transferred from DVD has no audio played back via Apple TV

I have successfully redeemed and transferred the digital copy from a DVD into iTunes. Both the video and audio play perfectly when I play the .m4v file using QuickTime Player. The video plays perfectly, but there is no audio when the movie plays via my Apple TV. My TV is not muted. Every other file in my iTunes library, including movies and music and no matter the source, play back with audio just fine. The only file that doesn't play with audio via my Apple TV is this digital copy that I redeemed and transferred into iTunes. Any idea what my problem might be?

Apple Support Communities solved my problem thanks to member Winston Churchill.
My digital copy of Skyfall transferred from the DVD into iTunes and viewed via my Apple TV on my HD TV would display the video with great clarity and resolution but the audio would not play.
Per his suggestion I visited the Settings icon on my Apple TV. I changed the "audio out" setting from "auto" to "16-bit" and this fixed my problem.
Thanks to Mr. Churchill for solving my problem with his brilliant suggestion.

Help! DVD is pixelating when played back on household player

Help please! This is driving me mad...
I searched the archives but couldn't find the answer, and if I don't finish this wedding video by Monday my mate is gonna litterally string me up!
I've cut the project in Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 - exported as a quicktime file and I'm rying to burn it onto DVD using a Lacie external DVD +/- rw double layer drive. I've been trying to do this using toast 6 lite.
The finished product will play back fine on my iBook, and my mate's powerbook, but when I try and play it back through the telly on a normal DVD player it keeps pixelating - almost like a pulse.
Any ideas? Will save a friendship....
I've been using bog standard sony DVDs, and burnt them at 16x. I'm going to give it a bash at 1x as I've heard this might help - but there seem to be two options in toast - 1x and 1xDVD.
Thanks, Paula.

Paula:
You didn't post any information about how you authored/burned your DVD, but this is a general basic workflow:
- From your sequence timeline in FCP select Export > Using Compressot
- In Compressor select the DVD: High quality 90 min preset (or the preset that match your sequence lenght!) and use the MPEG2 preset for your video and the AC3 for your audio.
- Select a destination where to locate your finale files.
- When completed, import thos .m2v and .ac3 files into DVDSP and create a track with them
- You can build your menus or just select that track as First Play and burn your disc.
- You can check this tutorial about Creating Disc Image in DVDSP (from www.kenstone.net site). It's a good procedure for safe burning.
Hope that helps!

Canon DSLR footage immediately stops when playing back.

Our company just bought this package specifically for the native DSLR support. When we upload our footage from the DSLR, the playback immediately stops after roughly about a 1/2 second. It does this in both the source monitor and in the timeline. However it does allow you to scrub through the footage. But ironically when you try to scrub at the same speed as a playback, the playback head will stop and go back to the beginning. It is impossible to edit this way and it's very frustrating. Any thoughts on what could be going wrong?
We are shooting with a Canon t2i and have been converting them through Mpeg Streamclip in the past and editing in Final Cut.
The Premiere version is updated to 5.0.3
I'm using an iMac OS X 10.6.4 with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 with 12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

I should also mention we have a lot of other video software on this particular machine. Here's a snapshot to give you an idea. Could it be that one of these programs are conflicting?

My ipad just stops and goes back to the desktop?

This just started this week - each time I access an app - even Safari is just stops working and reverts back to the desktop? Is anyone else seeing this as well?

Try closing all of your apps completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
For Safari you could also try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)

Music/clicking on iphone just stops when playing

My iphone 4s plays my music, but then will just stop playing.. also with the clicking when im texting will just stop.. it usually stops for hrs, so ill just wait til the next day to use it.. my phone will start off playing music then just stop.. maybe its burned out? ive only had the phone about 4 months

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

DVD Studio Pro not playing back audio of asset converted from FCP via compressor.

I exported project via compressor:
File Extension: m2v
Estimated file size: 4.34 GB
Video Encoder
    Format: M2V
    Width: 720
    Height: 480
    Pixel aspect ratio: NTSC CCIR 601/DV
    Crop: None
    Frame rate: 29.97
    Frame Controls: Off
    Aspect ratio: 4:3
    Field dominance: Bottom first
    Average data rate: 3.6 (Mbps)
    2 Pass VBR enabled
        Maximum data rate: 7.5 (Mbps)
    High quality
    Best motion estimation
    Closed GOP Size: 15, Structure: IBBP
    DVD Studio Pro meta-data enabled
This took about 7.5 hours. I exported the audio separately as AC3. Finder plays it sound & pictures. Quicktime plays the video. DVD Studio Pro, when I drag the assets (video, audio) to the timeline editor, so I can play it in the viewer, it plays the audio the video is black. No setting in view or any other setting will get it to play the video. This project is due to ship today and I don't want to re import it if I don't have to.
I exported this project before the MPEG2 export as a Qicktime with .mov suffix. This plays alright, but there is artifacting around motion. I think this is due to low VBR, but don't know. Can ayone help?

If I may chime in...
I'm a little confused on the "what plays what" part, but all that really matters is what DVDSP sees/plays.
I've worked on a system like yours and what I'd recommend is:
1. NEVER export via Compressor. It's just ungodly slow on anything less than a Quad. Export a self contained QuickTime Movie using the first export option and use that to feed Compressor.
2. Segment your output into manageable clips (I like 15-20 minutes) both to perfect the encoding and so you aren't re-encoding the whole show if something goes sour. It will all play fine as long as it's all in the same DVDSP timeline.
From what you describe, I'm thinking you're on an early version of Compressor that had A-Pack as the AC-3 encoder. This is no biggie, I mention it mostly to verify. Early Compressor was good too.
Make maybe a 5 minute piece to tune up. Just export as normal, then into Compressor. Your encoding values seem about right. Get the AV pair into DVDSP and it should play. I'm guessing that part of your problem is that the processor is fighting to handle the project size. Build the test clip project and look at it in DVD Player to view what would have been burned. If all looks OK, go for it. If not, bring back the results for discussion. This should be a snap, it's just a really big project. Keep your head up, I had a friend do a 225-minute disk on his G5...

Exporting fce4 avchd edited movie to dvd-r for ps3 play back

Hello,
Im trying to figure out how to take an AVCHD edited movie from fce4 and burn it to dvd-r so i can play it back on ps3 at full hd resolution. Thanks for any help!

You can't do it with iDVD.
You can do it with Toast 9 and DVD Studio Pro (which is part of Final Cut Studio).

Some games it just stops and goes back to main screen

Has anyone ever had this happen? There are a few games lately, Angry Birds, Hanging with Friends (haven't even played it yet, just got it) and they get to a certain point and the screen just goes blank then goes back to main screen.

I made a imovie out of a group of photos and added music. When I burned to DVD on iDVD and played back the disc all of the photos were larger than the frame could accommodate and the sides were cut off. I also tried resizing from 16 9 to 4 3 and no better

I made and iMovie out of a group of photos and added music. When I burned to I DVD the pictures came out to wide to fit into the frame. I tried again by changing the size from 16 9 to 4 3 and it didn't make any difference. Would going to share to browser rather than directly to share to IDVD make a difference?

What do the photos look like if you play the movie within iMovie? Sounds like adjusting Ken Burns would help.

DVD just won't play

I created a video of my graduate recital, and burned it onto a DVD+R disc. It took a while, but it burned correctly. But it will not play on my stand-alone DVD player OR my MacBook. What gives?? I tried it on a PC and it played for a little while (so I know the data is on there) but froze and then the computer crashed with it (another reason I love my Mac). HELP!!!

There are a variety of reasons why a burned DVD will not be recognized by a DVD player.
In short: Try using a DVD-R disk and burning at a lower speed (see suggestion #4 below).
Things to try:
1.) Make sure the DVD disks you are using are compatible with your computer's optical drive. If you use a disk that is not supported by your computer's SuperDrive you may get inconsistent burn results. You can find out what types and speeds of disks your computer supports by going here and looking for the "SuperDrive" section under your model of computer: http://support.apple.com/specs/
2.) Older drives / players may not be able to read newer types of burnable media. Use DVD-R disks that list a lower speed. Burnable media comes with numbering on the original packaging that indicates the speed of the disk (Usually 1x,2x,3x, etc.). The lower the number the more compatible the disk will be with more DVD players.
3.) Try different brands of media. I personally try to stick with media made by companies with a long history of making recordable media.
4.) Lower the burn speed in iDVD:
iDVD > Preferences > Advanced > Preferred DVD Burning Speed
The lower the number you choose the more compatible the resulting disk will be with more DVD players. It will also increase the amount of time it takes to burn the disk.
Hope that helps .

I keep getting an error 2048 everytime I try to play back my Maya file that I saved as a qt movie. I just recently updated qt and this is when the errors would pop up. Before the update I had no problems. How can I fix this?

I updated quicktime a few days ago and now I keep getting error 2048 whenever i try to play back my Maya file after saving it as a qt movie. I had no issues with this before I did the update, after the update I keep getting the error 2048 message. QT will play my earlier Maya movies and other video, it just won't play back my latest work. Help me please, I need this for school.

The 2048 error message usually suggests the files use MPEG-2 format which is not supported natively on Windows via QuickTime without the additional MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple).
